To evaluate both the serological response of this MERS patient before discharge and the risk of transmission, a set of serum samples from the patient and paired serum samples collected at least 14 d apart from the close contacts of the MERS patient during his trip and hospital admission in China, were tested for MERS-CoV using an inactivated MERS-CoV-based ELISA. We used an inactivated MERS-CoV particle-based ELISA to analyze serum samples from the imported MERS-CoV patient and his close contacts for the presence of IgG against MERS-CoV. A lentivirus-based MERS-CoV pseudovirus neutralization test was performed to confirm the presence of MERS-CoV-specific antibodies in serum samples from the patient. All 53 paired serum samples from the close contacts were below the cut-off value, negative for MERS-CoV by ELISA (Figure 3 ).	./cache/cord-272932-devmy5yx.txt	./txt/cord-272932-devmy5yx.txt
